The project is one of the new series that FX has ordered in the run-up to the launch of its new network FXX, which will be targeting a younger audience.

Falk also served as a writer on Showtime's Emmy-nominated Mary-Louise Parker-starring Weeds.

He reteamed with Weeds creator Jenji Kohan on Netflix's original series Orange Is the New Black.

"We love the story and characters that Stephen has created," FX Networks original programming president Eric Schrier said.

"It's a unique and hilarious script, and we can't wait to see it realised."

Andrew Gurland's untitled comedy starring Nat Faxon and Judy Greer, Billy Crystal comedy The Comedians and the Tracy Morgan-starring Death Pact have also been ordered for FXX, which launches in September.
